"This is a very controversial nomi- nee," he said. DeConcini and Sen. Gordon Hum- phrey, R-N.H., were the only com- mittee members to sit in on most of the hearing. DeConcini told Siegan at the end of the session that he had enough information to make a deci- sion on his nomination. He said be did not know whether any further hearings would be scheduled.

But he said his thinking on these and other issues "is totally irrele- vant" because be would be forced to follow precedent set by the Supreme Court - not his own political philos- ophy or beliefs. The committee had planned to consider Siegan's nomination July 21, but postponed hearings when the bat- tle over Bork erupted. The bearing yesterday was scheduled after De- Concini, a colleague of Siegan's on the National Bicentennial Commis- ion on the Constitution, offered to

For now, thoug there's no reason to hide under the covers. Entering todays 1 p.m game at t. Mary's Cc • lege of Atherton. starting cornerbacks Darryl Jackso and Christopher King have far surpassed their coach expectations and USD (6-1-1) is ranked first in <,coring defense in Division III. Both Jackson and King are freshmen Ja kson, a start- er since preseason, has three interceptions ~d 1S fifth o the team with 45 tackles. King, who moved mto the start- ing lineup in game four against Whittier, has intercepted three passes and deflected eight.

"I have to be honest," said Jackson, who took tu playing quarterback. tight end, wide receiver and line- backer at Gardena-Serra High School in Gardena. The first time I played. more or less, I was scared. I didn't know what to expect.

"1t started off because I just wasn·t sure. I knew I'd been taught how to do it. I just had never played before and it WB.! scary.' Scary? Maybe so. Disastrous? Not even close ·either Jackson nor King has been beaten deep all season as USD has held opponents to two passing touch- downs and a 104.6-yard pa ing average.(12th in DlVI 10n III). "The last time I started two freshman cornerbacks was in 1984," said McGarry. ''It's never good because they're always going tomake the m1Stakes tha freshni n make.

/1 Loca reaction to use of

Ginsburg ctrum

marijuana b overs the s By Staff Writen tj While President Reara:'s nomina- tion of Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg to the Supreme Court appeared in dan- ger yesterday, reaction in San Diego to the judge's admission that he had used marijuana ranged from indif- ference to serious concern. "If the person has taken marijuana years ago and it can be demonstrat- ed that he's not now addicted to drugs, then that shouldn't automati- cally disqualify him," said Michael Dessent, dean of the California West- ern School of Law. "I don't know what 'the '70s' is," Dessent said, referring to Ginsburg's admission that he smoked marijuana a few times iir'the 1970s, ' but the farther away it gets, the less signifi- cant it becomes." Sheldon Krantz, dean o.f the Uni- v~ity of San Diego's school of ~. concurred that past marijuana use shouldn't disqualify Ginsburg. Krantz added that the focus on Ginsburg's drug use was an unfor- tunate diversion. "The real issue is whether Judge Ginsburg has the qualifications, experience and talent to be a member of the Supreme Court." Katharine Rosenberry, a professor of law at Cal Western agreed. "I would be more interested in knowing more about bis judicial opinions than about the marijuana," she said. One of her colleagues at Cal West- ern, William Lynch, said smoking marijuana wasn't particularly se- rious at the time Ginsburg did it. "On the other hand, I find a little inconsistency between putting him forward as a law-and-order judge," be said, and then finding out later that he broke the law.

Rep. Jim Bates, D-San Diego, said, "The question is, is be still using clugs?" "Any (present) dependency on clugs or alcohol . . . would disqualify ltm from the Supreme Court," he aided. "If I were a senator on the .bdiciary Committee having to vote 01 the issue, I think it opens a door fr a line of qut stioning that has to l:e pursued." Sen. Pete Wilson was traveling from Washington to San Jose and could not be reached for comment. But his deputy director of public af- fairs, Bob Hudson, said Wilson "has grave concerns" about Ginsburg's revelation. Former Mayor Roger Hedgecock siid Ginsburg was a hot topic on his radio talk show yesterday. Many of tis listeners' comments, Hedgecock siid, were critical of the nominee's lifestyle. "We did a tele-poll - which admit- tedly isn't scientific - where people call one number to vote in favor of Ginsburg and another to vote against ll!n," Hedgecock siiid. "The result \1'as 58 percent supporting him and 41 against. "Judging from that and the nega- tive comments of people, I'd say · tlere are a significant number of p«>ple in this community who are concerned about Ginsburg's ability to uphold the law. "And the news about bis wife doing abortions - there is tremendous th1ease about this nominee. And we're talking about a fairly conserv- ative, pro-Reagan audience." A poll taken by the Union a year ago found that almost two-thirds of San Diegans believed drug users slould get mandatory jail time. It a.so found that nearly 80 percent were against legalizing marijua/
